3. Well it SHOULD!

6. Here's What Happens:

A new Jesus opens up in the old one and replaces him.

Since the universe is really a multi-verse and there are literally an infinite number of possible realities this means, of course, that an infinite number of Jesuses open up in an infinite number of Jesuses: grumpy Jesus, gladiator Jesus, lazy lay-about wine-wasted Jesus, ad infinitum . . .

I loves me the new field of theological physics; it's such an exact, hard science. Once you take away the theological part . . .

10. Maybe there's just one Jesus, and he controls all of the multi-verse

19. And with an infinite number of universes

we will be reincarnated an infinite number of times – guaranteed, since there will be an infinite number of conscious critters with brain processes sufficiently similar to our own to create identical consciousnesses.

Some claim that we have souls that die when our bodies die, thus preventing reincarnation. I don't believe in that woo, so I believe reincarnation must be possible.

43. This is the paper for the basis of the theory:

It has been known for about twenty years that for a low Higgs mass relative to the top quark mass, the quartic Higgs self-coupling runs at high energy towards lower values. At some point it would turn negative indicating that the vacuum is unstable. In other words the universe could in theory spontaneously explode at some point releasing huge amounts of energy as it fell into a more stable lower energy vacuum state. This catastrophe would spread across the universe at the speed of light in an unstoppable wave of heat that would destroy everything in its path.

You wouldn't see it coming though. You wouldn't even know it happened. So basically, the idea of "instantaneous destruction" still is logical, but it'd still take 14+ billion years for the process to complete itself.

59. +10

Is interesting how some scoff at the very mention of such things,
I suppose out of a knee-jerk reaction, that it's too "spiritual" or
"not real science" .. even when real science discovers that, you
know what? Buddha was actually correct about some important
stuff. Einstein was certainly onto it big-time.

The bogus pitting of scientific truth v. spiritual truth against
one another, has put our collective psyche into a choke-hold for
nearly a century now.

62. Forgive me if I choose not to presume

to explain Quantum Physics, Buddhism, and the life works of Carl Jung,
and how all three of these modes of awareness dovetail with one another,
providing scouts' reports and a roadmap for better understanding the
intimate interconnectedness of the Universe, and how human evolutionary
consciousness can become more self-directed, as in democratic, with
small d.

I must be a little "off" today, not to be able to do that in a single DU post.

My most insincere apologies to you and any other DUers who were expecting
me to deliver on that, and are so disappointed that they send me snide
comments.

63. Relax

He's right, you're wrong. You understand something that isn't easily explained and you brought it up in a discussion forum. When queried about it, you best response was probably that it was far too broad of a topic for the forum. You're right, there's no way you could have covered the topic in this context, especially within this thread. But ya can't blame someone for askin'.

65. Always a problem

That is a constant problem in these mediums. Do you presume that questions are genuinely asked? There is the "troll question". There is the "leading" question. There are questions that appear rhetorical. And of course my favorite, the question that is grounded in assumptions that are wrong or unestablished. Spend a week in the Gungeon (heck, spend an hour) and you'll get 'em all.

But I do tend to give a huge benefit of the doubt, especially when I know I'm being fairly obtuse or have unique/special/uncommon/detailed knowledge. And have "paid for it" more than once.

40. Energy availablity is topped off at around 200 trillion years.

By then all visible galaxies will be long gone and all that will be left are black holes in a super galactic formation. In other words, the end, as we know it, is going to happen eventually. This is good news in some ways because it points to the possibility that the universe refreshes itself.
